| Project description
and objectives:
|
|
|
Have
you ever got locked
out of your home or
office because you forgot
your keys or access
cards? Have you ever
forgot your password
or PIN and cannot access
your accounts? Won't
it be nice that you
do not have to carry
a key/card or to remember
some password or PIN
to gain access to your
home or your computer
or bank accounts? :-)
Biometrics offers the
solution!! "Biometrics
is the study of the
automatic identification
or verification of living
persons using their
enduring physical or
behavioural characteristics."
In this project, we
shall investigate the
effectiveness of two
types of physical characteristics
of a person in the process
of verification. We
shall survey the existing
finger print and hand
geometry systems. Select
and test those available
systems in the lab.
Design and implement
experiments to evaluate
the performance of these
systems.
